Getting banks super scoop to fit for lb7

[jonathancasey19]

Just got a banks ram air intake w/ super scoop for my lb7. I know they don't make a super scoop for lb7's and I see why. Figured I could modify it to fit since I have a 4-6" lift, clearance shouldn't be an issue. The installation directions even give alternative instructions to make it fit for an lb7. I guess not.... anyone else ever gotten one to fit?

Cool Johnathan!

If you have to modify it im betting it wont be hard,

You can get all kinds of silicone couplings, clamps from intake hoses . com

or silicone intakes .com.

They may have what you need to install your scoop and make it look/work nice.

Post up pics!

Thanks Tim but I'm not sure if there's even a way to modify it..... The 35's eat the entire back end of the scoop.

Check it out:

If you aren't running stock tires I wonder how in the hell this scoop could even fit for the 03-07' models....

Damn,

How bout cutting a few inches of your wheel well liner off and shortening the scoop ?

I wish i was closer i'd give ya hand, i like these kind of projects.

Shortening the scoop would defeat the purpose of sticking out under the valence. I don't see how it could line up?? Banks designed it perfectly. It fits like a glove. Just the damn tire scrubs BAD.

I ran 33's on a stock LLY with a Super Scoop. Do the instructions for your mention cutting off the bracket under the intake?

Wow take a picture for me! I don't understand why they haven't made one for the older models. To answer your question--No

thats strange i think danny (2500heavyduty) ran one with his 35's and hes lowered on them, i know he use to have one on the truck but i dont know what his tire/ride hight setup was

I can't figure out how to get a pic from a PDF to post in here. The LMM SuperScoop has the bracket cut in the instructions. I thought it was my LLY for some reason.

If you take a heat gun to it, get it nice and hot, you can push the corner in enough to clear most tires. I didn't do this on mine and I rubbed a hole right through... The funny thing is, my IAT's haven't changed, they are still between 1 & 5 degrees above ambient while cruising down the road.

going to install mine back on over the weekend, ill take a heatgun to it at first to bend the scoop in, if it still dont want to fit ill cut out the part that rubs and fiberglass it :thumb:

 

[jonathancasey19]

I had to cut a BUNCH off. It finally clears now and just finished with the first layer of fiberglass mat. Hopefully it will be done this evening & ready for paint.

im gonna have to mount mine later on today with my bumper and see how well it works

 

[jonathancasey19]

Well I finally got the scoop to work. Still needs to paint at some point. Not the prettiest thing in the world but, hey, works for me

 

[2500HeavyDuty]

yay it fits

I've always been intrigued by those scoops. I've been running an S&B now for a couple years and I've never noticed any bit of difference at all. And even if I mash the go pedal, my IAT's still shoot through the roof. I'm curious to know where exactly the ECM is reading the temps from. Is it the MAF or inside the manifold?

Someone said that Banks was supposed to come out with a scoop for the standard S&B boxes but I've lost touch with the internet the last year or so. Hell, I rarely even drive my truck anymore. I've only put on 5000 miles within the last year anyways.
